Sun Lakes fishing
« on: May 18, 2020, 08:31:10 PM »

Hi, we will be staying in our trailer at Sun Lakes resort in late June.Its our first time there so any tips will be appreciated. We ‘may’ have a small boat available but mostly bank fishing. Thanks!

There is a nice dock on the resort to fish off of. It seems like everytime I would walk out to the dock people were catching fish. The people that work at the resort will give you all the pointers to catch em.

You will have a great time! Use your basic fishing knowledge and you will catch some trout.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

Can be worth a short drive up to Deep Lake as well. We used to fish off the cliffs there and catch trout.

Bring a boat or rent the boats at the resort. They are actually very nice. The lake has plenty of big browns and tigers. Spot underwater reefs on google maps and cast or troll rapalas and other slim cranks along the reef edges.

Do they plant browns and tiger trout in Park Lake or Blue Lake ( Sun Lakes) or is there another Sun Lakes I don't know about.  I would like to catch some tiger trout!!

I was there last year for Memorial Day. Having never been there before, I thought that maybe I could catch some Smallmouth. During some very terrible weather I proceeded to hammer some Browns and tigers to about 4 lb
